The Missouri below the Mouth of the Platte
Description
Another of Bodmer's views of the Missouri, dated May 3, describes an aspect of the river four or five miles below the mouth of the Platte. In his daily account Maximilian noted that at this point one could already distinguish the effluent of the Platte "since it is clear and blue; it runs separately along the bank lying to the left of us."
